Lower Eyelid Lift Approaches
Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty –Incision is made inside the lower eyelid where orbital fat is either repositioned or removed. Excess eyelid skin can also be removed during this procedure. This is the most suitable procedure for younger patients and for patients with minimal excess skin on the lower eyelid.
Transcutaneous Blepharoplasty – Fat or excess skin is removed through the incision that is made just a few millimeters below the lower eyelid lashes. It is suitable for older patients and for those with a significant amount of excess skin in the lower eyelid.
Recovery
The time it takes to attain full recovery after a lower eyelid lift depends on multiple factors, including the amount of work that was put it, if the procedure was together with other procedures, and the patient’s medical history. Slight bruising and swelling around the eyelid is normal during the first few days following the procedure. Most patients return to their normal routine after about 7 to 10 days.
Cost
The total cost of lower eyelid lift varies significantly from patient to patient, depending on the extent of the procedure and the type of procedure used. The procedure cost will be estimated during your initial consultation with Dr. Shamouelian. Unless the existing lower eyelid condition is causing visual problems, health insurance companies will not cover the cost of lower blepharoplasty. Feel free to ask about financial options and payment plans.
